This study aimed to evaluate the sensory processing abilities of adults with acquired hearing loss and determine whether their sensory processing patterns differ from those of the general population and adults with normal hearing.
The study evaluated the sensory processing functions of 30 adults with acquired hearing loss using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and compared them with the sensory processing functions of 30 adults with normal hearing.
The results showed that individuals with hearing loss have a significantly higher sensitivity to stimuli related to motion, vision, activity and touch, exhibiting a low-registration sensory pattern and a sensation-avoiding pattern that differed from those of most individuals.
Assessing sensory processing profiles can help identify specific sensory difficulties and inform individualised treatment plans. The study highlights the importance of considering sensory processing patterns in the management of hearing loss to improve overall well-being and quality of life for adults with hearing loss.
本研究旨在评估后天性听力损失成年人的感觉处理能力，并确定他们的感觉处理模式是否与普通人群和正常听力成年人不同。
该研究使用青少年/成人感觉概况评估了 30 名后天性听力损失成年人的感觉处理功能，并将其与 30 名正常听力成年人的感觉处理功能进行了比较。
结果表明，听力损失个体对与运动、视觉、活动和触觉相关的刺激具有明显更高的敏感性，表现出低注册感觉模式和感觉回避模式，与大多数个体不同。
评估感觉处理模式有助于识别特定的感觉困难，并为个体化治疗计划提供信息。该研究强调了在听力损失管理中考虑感觉处理模式的重要性，以提高听力损失成年人的整体幸福感和生活质量。
